Leaping Sheep





I hadn't really intended to climb a big mountain as the coastal walk from Llanfairfechen back to Conwy sounded very inviting. However the weather was so good that it was impossible to resist a walk entitled 'Snowdon the Easy Way'! We climbed steadily from Rhyd Ddu and stopped for an early lunch about two thirds of the way up. The local shepherds were gathering up their flocks from the highest part of the hills and bringing them down for the winter. This caused us much amusement as the sheep came rushing and leaping through a nearby gateway.
